Vehicle Safety Ratings Estimated from Police Reported Crash Data: 2006 Update
VEHICLE SAFETY RATINGS ESTIMATED FROM POLICE REPORTED CRASH DATA: 2006 UPDATE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND CRASHES DURING 1987-2004 by Stuart Newstead Linda Watson & Max Cameron Report No. 248 June 2006 Project Sponsored By ii MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Report Date ISBN Pages 248 June 2006 0 7326 2318 9 90 + Appendices Title and sub-title: VEHICLE SAFETY RATINGS ESTIMATED FROM POLICE REPORTED CRASH DATA: 2006 UPDATE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND CRASHES DURING 1987-2004 Author(s) Type of Report & Period Covered Newstead, S.V., Cameron, M.H. and Watson, L.M. Summary Report, 1982-2004 Sponsoring Organisations - This project was funded as contract research by the following organisations: Road Traffic Authority of NSW, Royal Automobile Club of Victoria Ltd, NRMA Ltd, VicRoads, Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia Ltd, Transport Accident Commission and Land Transport New Zealand, the Road Safety Council of Western Australia, the New Zealand Automobile Association and by a grant from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau Abstract: Crashworthiness ratings measure the relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury to their own drivers in crashes whilst aggressivity ratings measure the serious injury risk vehicles pose to drivers of other vehicles and unprotected road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Updated crashworthiness ratings and aggressivity ratings for 1982- 2004 model vehicles were estimated based on data on crashes in Victoria and New South Wales during 1987-2004 and in Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand during 1991-2004. Both crashworthiness and aggressivity were measured by a combination of injury severity (the risk of death or serious injury given an injury was sustained) and injury risk (the risk of injury given crash involvement).

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.

2005 Honda Accord Hybrid Sedan Overview
2005 Honda Accord Hybrid Sedan Overview Introduction Since the Accord’s launch as a compact hatchback car in 1976, it has earned widespread acclaim as a leader in smart design, superb quality and world-class efficiency. In its 28-year history, the Accord has constantly re-invented itself, going from that original compact hatchback to today’s premium intermediate sedan and coupe. The seventh-generation Accord V-6, released in 2003, once again raised the bar for performance, safety and value in the intermediate segment with a highly efficient and powerful 3.0-litre, 240-horsepower, SOHC VTEC V-6 engine, 4-wheel disc brakes and a standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) on all models, along with standard features such as air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD stereo system, power windows and door locks. In 2005, the Accord further establishes its role as a technology, performance and efficiency leader with the introduction of the Accord Hybrid, the world’s first V-6-powered gasoline- electric-hybrid vehicle. Boasting the highest fuel efficiency for a V-6-powered automobile, Accord Hybrid utilizes the third-generation of Honda’s exclusive Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system featuring new Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology. By combining a high-output V-6 engine and IMA with VCM, the Accord Hybrid Sedan provides even more power – 255 hp versus 240hp in the regular Accord V-6 Sedan – while improving fuel efficiency to an estimated 7.9 L/100km city / 5.9 L/100km highway – better than virtually all 4-cylinder intermediate sedans and similar to that of the Honda Civic Sedan, already a benchmark for fuel efficiency in the compact car class.

Honda Accord, Civic Top the “10 Most-Stolen Vehicles” List in WA; Are You Protected from Auto Theft?
Consumer Alert Contact: Release Date: 09/19/2018 Kenton Brine, President [email protected] Sandi Henke, Communications Director [email protected] NW Insurance Council Follow at Twitter/nwinsuranceinfo Phone: (206) 624-3330 / (800) 664-4942 Facebook/NWInsuranceCouncil Honda Accord, Civic top the “10 most-stolen vehicles” list in WA; are you protected from auto theft? • 1997 Honda Accord is the most stolen car in Washington state. • Losses from stolen vehicles totaled nearly $5 billion in 2015, contributing to the cost of auto insurance nationwide. • Owners of vehicles stolen are “on the hook” without Comprehensive Insurance Coverage. SEATTLE, September 19, 2018 – The vehicle thieves targeted most often in Washington over the past year is the 1997 Honda Accord, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s (NICB) annual Hot Wheels Report. The 2017 Top 10 most stolen list for Washington includes vehicle years ranging from 1991 to 1999. According to NICB, certain models of older cars and trucks are popular with thieves because of their longevity and the value of their parts, plus they are easier to steal. Newer and more expensive vehicles often have more sophisticated alarms and anti-theft systems and frequently are stolen to be resold intact or shipped overseas. No matter what year the vehicle, auto theft is a costly crime that contributes to the cost of auto insurance nationwide. The good news is vehicle owners who include optional Comprehensive Coverage in their auto insurance policies are covered if their vehicles are stolen. “Consumers pay billions each year for auto theft,” said Kenton Brine, NW Insurance Council president.

Installation Instructions 89-05 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 1.6L B6 Or BP 1.8L Engine
Qmax Coolant Reroute Installation Instructions 89-05 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 1.6L B6 or BP 1.8L engine Read notes 1-8 before you begin (or you will be unhappy with your install) 1. Disconnect battery. 2. It is recommended to have a Mazda FSM (Factory Service Manual) on hand before beginning any service on your Miata. Trust us :) 3. DO NOT attempt this install on a hot engine. Let car sit at least 6 hours before beginning installation. 4. Tips to make your Qmax Reroute install easier. a) Place entire car on jack stands so you don't have to bend over so much. b) Remove hood. Be sure to mark position of hinges against hood to save alignment. c) Work where there is plenty of light. d) A Lisle 24680 funnel for bleeding will save you time. Highly recommended. 5. The installation requires tightening NPT fasteners. These are tapered thread and self sealing. The tapered thread will naturally begin to bind while rotating in and eventually stop. Do not over torque these fittings or sensors. Over torqueing can crack or split the housing. 6. Do Not apply sealant or PTFE tape to sensors that use a crush washer. The crush washer is the seal. 7. Apply supplied sealant to all NPT "tapered" threads. Assemble parts immediately after applying the Permatex 22071 sealant, while still wet and tacky. No need to let the sealant dry. 8. It is possible, with significant improvements to your cooling system, that the engine may not come fully up to ideal operating temp of 185-205°F in very cold weather.
